I transferred my children to horrall from a private school and I was amazed with how much the school has to offer. I am very active with my childrens education and I am very impressed with Principal Dean / Teachers. My children have come out of the box and have excelled in academics with the transfer. They are given work that is challenging and has literally pushed them to a level of independence, they are compelled to initiate leadership.

I transferred my daughter here from Highlands and it was so much better for her. John Dean, the principal is hands on and involved, the teachers are happy and pay attention to the kids and the arts program is great. I hope they are able to keep the arts. A great, great school!

This school pays special attention to those with learning needs, overlooking those that excel and can be pushed to do even better. If you have a high achiever, she can easily be bored at this school. My child is in third grade and it s half way through the school year, and has not even learned how to read handwriting. The people are nice, the staff is great, the art class is fun, but I m slightly disappointed with the level of education in the school.

What an amazing education and opportunity for students! This dynamic public Arts school is led by an engaged principal and dedicated teachers! The 4 Arts classes that ALL students attend every week are an incredible way to enhance the core curriculum.

We test kids at the end of the year and beginning. Kids that don't keep up during the summer take a giant step backwards. If our kids do complain about homework, we ask them,"Do you want to work for a company, or own the company?"

No. Let the children have a break. Let their minds focus on being children. They'll have plenty of homework when they go back to school. I would not even consider enforceing summer homework for my children. They need stress free playtime.

Yes. Of course summer is for fun however they can take a brake from homework 2 weeks or so, not the whole summer. If you teach a child the importance of learing they will enjoy the homework even in the summer.
